Participants with a financial need are encouraged to apply for Y scholarships. The YMCA uses a 4 sliding scale to evaluate each applicant. Through gifts to the annual We Build People Campaign, the YMCA makes its services available to hundreds in our community every year. Transportation The YMCA will provide transportation from 2 different locations. These have not been confirmed but every effort will be made to have them be centrally located for convenience of parents. One site will be the parking lot of the Orange County Social Services Department. The YMCA will be leaving the bus that will be used for this camp in the DSS parking lot overnight during the duration of the camp. The bus driver will also be leaving their personal car in that lot during the day while the bus is in use for camp. Staffing and Training An integral component of the YMCA's quality programming is staffing. Our staff consists of mature and enthusiastic individuals who help us provide a quality, safe and enjoyable program.
